[W126 Coupe] 0-60 times?

Mike,

 If I am not mistaken, all the SEC's have an altitude sensor that is fed into the ECU. This in turn will adjust the mixture to compensate for the altitude above sea level. So unfortunately, I don't think you are going to get much of a different result at sea level. Unless of course you are in thick fog which would improve your engine performance considerably with such dense moist air. The only problem is you can't see where you are going.
I also have a G-Tech pro and found the accuracy extremely good. Have you tested your braking from 60 as well?

Good luck with your conversion.
All the best,
Vance.

  Went out last night and did the final runs on the SEC before the conversion work starts. I wasn't particularly pleased with the results but it is what it is. The empty, dead - end road I found was not especially level. 

   

  For the mathematicians amongst us, can these 0-60 times be corrected to sea level? How much did I lose in time as the runs were made almost 3,000 feet above seal level?
